The jewels were especially successful for Mondschein, becoming his main focus as the business grew.
For years, Hollywood starlets, wealthy businessmen, doctors and celebrities have turned to Madison Avenue, visiting Fred Leighton’s store for its amazing selection of vintage, contemporary and antique baubles. Now, the jeweler is more than well-known and available in many other stores.
